Which of these colors should I paint my truck?

The truck is a 1971 C10 Custom Deluxe? If so from those above choices, I'd vote #1 two tone; blue letter tailgate with upper and lower tailgate trim and no band per custom deluxe combo. Make sure the custom deluxe emblems are appropriately positioned on the fender for your build factory (Janesville or not) unlike the super emblems shown above (in #1 and #3) - a common overlook.

Second choice is #2 as per SS Tim's post above - this is a different way to go than most builds and nice IMO.

Yes, it's a c10 Custom Deluxe. the original emblems are intact. Say, by chance can you provide an example of the tail gate? You and SS Tim mentioned the color scheme, blue letters and no band.

Here is an example of a 71 Hugger Orange Custom Deluxe optioned with the Deluxe Two-Tone paint (code 458). Note the body color letters and tailgate moldings. Any tailgate band would be incorrect on a Custom Deluxe.

That's great Tim..THANKS!. What are your thoughts on the "black" molding along the sides? Is that aftermarket?
